It’s grilling season! I love cooking out when the weather is nice…well I love preparing food and having Tim grill it. 😉 We grilled out the other day and I was trying to decide what to cook with our burgers. Sometimes I feel like I get in a side dish rut. As much as I […]
My love for beets is only recently discovered. There are a lot of foods that I never knew I liked until I was a grown adult in my mid-twenties. Beets are one of those foods that I had previously turned my nose up to, oblivious to how delicious they really are. I guess had really […]
What can I say about butternut squash? It’s delicious, good for you, inexpensive, and incredibly difficult to cut. I did not discover how much I liked butternut squash until about 4 or 5 years ago. I had no idea what I was missing! Now, every fall I look forward to loading up on them at […]
If you read my post a long, long time ago about cornish game hens, this is pretty much the exact same recipe, except with a regular sized chicken. I made three of these puppies for our Mother’s Day celebration this year, and everyone just loved it! The chicken really absorbs the flavors of the garlic, […]
So, I subscribe to this awesome blog, Two Peas and Their Pod. I just love their recipes, their photos are fantastic, and their posts are well written. A couple of weeks ago, I saw they posted this recipe for Baked Spaghetti Squash with Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce. I knew immediately I’d have to try […]
It’s that time of year – tomato season. I’ve mentioned before that I love tomatoes, but inevitably every year I find myself with an abundance, wondering how I can use them up lest they go to waste. If you find yourself with a similar conundrum, then you’ve come to the right place. Not only is […]
So, I saw this recipe on Rachael Ray’s website. I didn’t actually see her cook it, and the name didn’t really appeal to me (Hungarian Roasted Pepper and Paprika Chicken), but curiosity got the best of me, and I clicked on the link for the recipe. I liked the ingredients – chicken, paprika, roasted red peppers, and […]
The first time I heard about fish tacos was probably about five years ago, and my immediate thought was “gross!” Fish and tacos just did not sound like something that should be put together. Ever. But the more I got into cooking, and the more my palate’s horizons began to expand, the more okay I […]
There are a lot of good pre-packaged soups out there, but there’s nothing quite like making soup from scratch. This butternut squash soup is flavorful and creamy, full of hidden vegetables, and is light because it does not have any cream! This recipe makes enough soup for Tim and I to eat it a couple […]
Last week, I posted my recipe for Quinoa Casserole with Broccoli and Asparagus and told you I made it with Cornish game hens. I’m sure you’ve been waiting on pins and needles by your computer for the game hen recipe, but alas, the wait is over! Okay, okay… I know it’s more likely you’re thinking, “Cornish […]
